Meeting with Russell. Talking about backend data warehouse syncing and replacing of data (backend processes). As part of his process, he checks the full amounts, if good, keep it. If off or incorrect, he filters down until he finds what needs to change. For example: Find year (yes/no), find month (yes/no), find day (yes/no), find smaller chunk if possible (yes/no). Only pull the data back and forth that you need vs trying to sync up everything.

We flipped over the practice mockup dashboard project. Playing with placeholders and no data selected (starting or default modes). Then, once selected, how the interface or focus changes. Spent some time building up the ideas and then getting rid of some of the older ones - once you have progressed pass that point. Good practice, asking yourself, is that really important? Sometimes we have to cut things that would be cool, but they just aren't important. Russell made this comment towards the end of our meeting - 80% planning and 20% coding. Not always the case but a good standard.
